The French publishers of Roald Dahl on Tuesday ruled out any changes to the late British author's translated books after reports that English editions were being rewritten for modern audiences.
The Daily Telegraph said last week that publishers Puffin had made hundreds of changes to characters and language in Dahl's stories for children including making the diminutive Oompa-Loompas in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory gender neutral and calling Augustus Gloop enormous rather than fat.
